£t)t Rapyamr Hcroa. THURSDAY. DEC., 6, 1888. Ex-Secretary Blaine's letter to the Philadelphia Press, expressing his method o( distributing the Government’s surplus revenue, has caused great comment. Harrison, the boy preacher, out of the many thousands tnat he has convertedhas caused one at least to have great faith in himself; he is to be married next spriDg to an Indianopolis lady. Tabor, the Colorado Statesman, who spent 30 days in the United States Senate, wants to be president of this great republic. The Louisville Courier-Jour-nal says: “Probably after he spends a few thousand dollars with hungry newspaper men he will And out that for him political advancement is but an airy bubble and a cheat, and it would have been better for him to stick to his diamond cuff-buttons and his $250 nightshirts. ! A writer to a New York paper, from Virginia, in speaking of the condition of affairs in his state, says: “Virginia is a stagnant pool at home and without influence abroad. We pay men 40 cents and women 25 cents, with rations of half a pound of bacon and two quarts of meal per day, for farm work. The men get $1 a day on the railroad, and, of course, they leave us. The girls go north to the cities, w ;ere they are paid more per week than we pay per month. Already we are begining to complain of a scarcity of labor. But the colored people do not want to go away. If we were able or willing to pay fair wages we should have abundanceof labor. There is, howeyer, no advance in the value of laud. It is worth less to-day than twelve or flfteen years ago; or. rather, it sold then for more than it was worth. One important factor in the calculations of the western emigrant is the rise in the value of lan(L He believes that, go where he will, ladfl is sure to advance. This may be one reason why active men with money do not come here. What does the emigrant And here? He flnds a virtuous, well-dis-posed people, who have been hedged around by slavery as with a wall of Are, to whom the outside world is of no account, with strong prejudices and opinions as to their own merits, and equally strong as to the demerits of the Yankee; who believe they are hated and abused by the north, and roll their trouble as a sweet morsel under the tongue. People from the north come here, try it for a while, sometime fail and sometimes succeed in establishing themselves, but never, so far as I know, advise others to come.” Edward Bliss Foote.

This distinguished medical man, whose principal works are known throughout the civilized world, and who commands a more extensive practice by the aid of the mail* than any other physician in the United States, belongs to that stock the American branch of which was originated by Nathaniel Foote, who took the freeman oath in the colony of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1688. The Footes have added numerously to the list of eminent professional men, statesmen, military and naval officers and social reformers of both sexes, whose services to the commonwealth have contributed very largely to American progress. That representative of the family best known to-day, Edward Bliss Foote, a portrait of whom accompanies this sketch, is the son of the late Hersohel Foote, a pioneer of the Connecticut Western Reserve in Ohio, on which be was born in 1829. His health was exceedingly delicate daring hie infancy and boyhood, which interfered with his attendance at school; but as he was a lad eager for information and quick of perception, be had acquired a large amountof miscellaneous information before entering, at sixteen years of age, that dirty paradise of ambition* boys like him, the printing office. He was at home there directly, and his

health improved during the two years of his first occupation, wherein be be-j came not less apt in the easy expression of his thoughts than at setting type. This facility of composition led to his removal, in his nineteenth year, from Ohio to Connecticut, where he asspmed the editorial control of a weekly news-, paper, which soon became the largest published in the State. Three years, afterwards he removed to New York for the purpose of enlarging the influence of his pen;and while pursuinghis duties as associate editor on a prominent weekly journal, became acquainted with a medical botonist with whom he formed an acquaintance which resulted in his being enabled to combine literary work with the study and practice of medicine, and eventually to become a physician, the leading ambition of his life. As assistant to an “irregular” practitioner, he found abundant opportunity of employing his pen controversially, and acquired singular dexterity in this way. Having given up his editorial position in New York and purchased an interest in the Morning Journal, the first morning newspaper published in Brooklyn, he devoted much of his time and energy to writing'for that journal. Two years of application to medical study and daily newspaper toil as well, were as- much as his constitution could bear, and the time had come when one or the other of these occupations must be given up. The decision was soon made, and Mr. Foote became co-partner with his friend of the botanic school of medicine. His practice was remarkably successful for two reasons, because founded on an accurate acquaintance with physiology, hygiene and medicine, and because of his extraordinary natural adaptation to his work. He remained in partnership until 1857, and, having cured a professor of the Penn Medical University of Philadelphia, of a pulmonary disease, was induced by him become a student in that institution. He was graduated an M. D. in the year 1860. The young physician began his career as an author of books in 1858, when twenty-nine years of age. His first work was “Medical Common Sense,” a radical and daring production, which was hailed by advanced thinkers and philanthropists throughout the country as a decided advance in the direction of emancipating the people from the domination of narrow-minded men, who regard a simple treatment of anatomy, physiology, hygiene, and the art of healing as an invasion of their close rights. This intolerable pretension Dr. Foote knocked in the head, and dealt not less vigorously with that mischievous miss-called delicacy which forbids the discussion of reproduction and othef' natural functions. N. P. Willis wmfe of the new book in these words: “Wisdom cut and dried,” and testimonials equally flattering, written by competent judges, were numerous. A quarter of a million copies were sold within ten years, a remarkable fact, especially as the book was of considerable size, containing three hundred pages. In 1866 Dr. Foote began the revision of his work, and by the winter of 1869-70 had produced the manuscript af “Plain Home Talk, Embracing ‘Medical Common Sense.’ ” Os this work of nine hundred and twelve pages more than a hundred and fifty thousand copies have been sold in the English speaking countries and more than fifty thousand of the German edition in Germany and the United States. “Science in Story,” published in 1876, was anew departure, combining a plot full of incident and fnn, very attractive to young people, with anatomy, physiology and hygiene, plain-spoken in style and treating of elimination and reproduction in a manner which forbids the abuse of wholesome knowledge by boys and girls, for whose instruction the book was written. It consists of five volumes, containing two hundred and fifty pages each. Dr. Foote’s miscellaneous pamphlets are twenty in number. He publishes the Health Monthly, a paper devoted to heredity, health and hygiene. The doctor is in New York as a public-spirited citizen, interesting himself in praise-worthy movements to promote the public good. “Hackmetack,” a lasting and fragrant perfume. Price 26 and 60 cents.
